Re: new combo for this year

Keep us posted on how that works for you. I have considered a very similar combo with the F-278-2 cam using different heads.
The moderate sized dual pattern N20 friendly mechanical lifter cam should help the motor rpm thru the traps with strong(er) power while on the juice.

Sharp looking car...

Ya he ran one in a previous 350. Said it worked well and he liked it, but lost a lobe for some reason. I believe he mentioned Crane and/or the retailer offered replacement but he did not choose to get a new cam. I think he used the credit on other stuff. Maybe he can clarify.

Lunati cam #401A3LUN is a very very simular Ultradyne design that would work very well too.

A wee bit pricey from Summit thou.
